... condition prediction model by assessing various classification and regression algorithms. Design/methodology/approach The 2019 National Bridge Inventory database is considered for model development. Eight different feature selection techniques, along with their mean and frequency, are used to identify...

... considered as an optimal solution. Consequently, this paper introduces a novel, fully connected, optimised convolutional neural network (CNN) model using feature selection algorithms for the purpose of detecting cracks in highway pavements. Design/methodology/approach To enhance the accuracy of the CNN...
